What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry is dedicated to addressing tooth loss and damage and restoring healthy, functional smiles. The following are some of the restorative services we offer at High Street Dentistry:

• Dental Fillings: Dental fillings are durable restorations designed to repair cavities or minor chips, preventing further damage. They help restore a tooth's natural shape and function, enhancing your smile.
• Dental Crowns: A crown is a custom-crafted cap designed to cover and protect a weak, damaged, or failing tooth, or one that's undergone a root canal treatment. At High Street Dentistry, we offer same-day crowns in many cases, allowing us to design, create, and place a custom ceramic restoration in a single appointment.
• Dental Bridges: A traditional bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more adjacent missing teeth. Your replacement teeth are supported by crowns placed over healthy natural teeth on either side of the gap.
• Complete and Partial Dentures: Today's modern dentures are sleeker and more natural-looking than those of the past, offering a cost-effective, time-tested solution to restore your smile. We offer complete and partial denture solutions, tailored to your unique needs.
• Root Canal Therapy: Root canal therapy is used to save a tooth that's been severely decayed or infected. The endodontic procedure involves removing the damaged tissue inside the tooth, relieving your pain and helping to save the affected tooth.
• Dental Implants: A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in your jawbone that mimics the function of a missing tooth's root. As the area heals, your implant will integrate with your jawbone, providing a strong, stable, and durable foundation for an implant-supported crown, bridge, or denture.

What Should You Expect During Treatment?

Your journey to your healthiest smile will begin with a thorough exam, often including digital X-rays, so we can evaluate the extent of your tooth damage and recommend the ideal solution to restore your smile. From there, we'll walk you through your treatment plan and timeline so you know what to expect. Many restorative procedures, like fillings and crowns, can often be completed in one or two visits, while others, like implants, may take a little longer to allow for proper healing.

Caring for Your Restorations

It's important to maintain excellent at-home oral hygiene practices and keep up with your regular dental exams and cleanings. If you grind or clench your teeth in your sleep, we may recommend a custom night guard to safeguard your restoration and your natural teeth. We also recommend avoiding hard, crunchy, or sticky foods to prevent damage to your restoration. If you have any questions, make sure to let us know.
